Abstract

 The greatest handicap in guava plantation is discriminate multiplication and non-availability of quality planting material that adversely affect the guava production and productivity. The initial planting material is basic requirement on which the final crop depends both in quality and quantity. In view of the high return and the potential for processing, there is a tremendous scope for bringing substantial additional area under guava crop in India. Therefore, rapid methods of propagation become very important when planting materials are limited due to scarcity of clone or varieties or due to sudden expansion in acreage. Thus, it has become imperative to standardize the time and propagation methods for guava under open conditions. A comprehensive work done in India and abroad on propagation studies in guava have been reviewed under different techniques for guava propagation. 

Keywords : Guava; Propagation Techniques; Quality Planting Material.
